joy

When I received the new charm for my necklace for my birthday last year, I knew it would include the name of our newest little bug, Miss Tallula. But I wasn’t quite sure if it should include Esther’s name as well.

I considered having a different necklace made just for Esther.

But I just couldn’t decide. So, I waited.

And waited.

But an answer did not come.

Finally, I was determined to just do it.

Order the charm, woman! How hard could it be?

But I still couldn’t decide.

So I asked my husband. Men think so simplistically. And that can be a huge breath of fresh air, especially when I’m all revved up into an over-analyzing ball of hairspray and hormones.

He simply said, “Yes. You wear that necklace everyday. You’re going to want Esther’s name on there, too.”

That’s so precious. I’ve got a similar post in the works around here. I, too, like necklaces while we wait. I had pictures in pendants for Joel and had a Seth necklace made at Vintage Pearl. But you know, I never wore it. It came just days after we found out he died and I thought if I put it on, I may never take it off. Not that that would have been a bad thing or wrong to do. But still, I put it aside with his other things. I have a new necklace charm and need to get crackin’ on that post!

Along thoes lines, did you forget to change your profile to say you are mama to twelve? I’m glad you got the charm also just because you never held her in your arms doesn’t mean you don’t hold her in your heart.

PS…Just seeing the word Joy as your title put a huge smile on my face…cause that joy isn’t just some happy -go-lucky sort of thing….It’s the Amazing filling from the Holy Spirit!! THanks so much for being a beautiful testimony.
